I wish Yonex would drop Tomic. An overated, rude player.
He hasn't won anything and acts like a super tennis star.

Humm I actually mentioned it an hour before hahhaha :twisted:

If anything happened, it is Yonex that dropped him, no results because of his work ethic, nothing to do with the racquet, anybody can play very well with Yonex, I just switched to the 89 tour from Pro Staff 85 that I used for a long long time and I think Yonex is a way better racquet.

Anyway, Tomic has been mocked everywhere, even in Australia, his home country, I would not doubt if yonex decided to end the contract eralier because of last year's embarrassment. I think He is darn good player, but definitely not a slam champion.

I'm not really familiar with this stuff but is Tomic considered by Australians as one of them?

What I mean is... his parents are from Yugoslavia, he was born in Germany and was 3 years old when they migrated to Australia (?).
Everybody loves a champion and this kid can play but his attitude not to mention his fathers' attitude makes me wonder how is he regarded in Australia?

And I mentioned it before that. But who cares, it's not about points here. Also the kids think Tomic is great, I did some work for Tennis Australia with their Super 10's program and 70% of the boys said Tomic was their favourite player.

No, what the kids actually said was Tomic the Tank Engine was their favorite show.

If Yonex dumped him, it would probably be because his behavior embarrassed them. As Timbo said, he is still the top very young player. He's well-known and could move up to the upper echelon of the game. Extremely good for marketing if he doesn't embarrass the company.

I know it's fashionable to dump on Tomic the Tank, but I hope he does well this year. I think his game is super entertaining (especially the drop forehand) and the game needs good players his age to take over for Murray and Djoker in ~ 4 years.
